Modernizing Legacy Codes through CI/CD Pipelines

In the rapidly evolving digital era, maintaining and modernizing legacy applications is crucial for businesses to stay competitive. The adoption of CI-CD pipelines is growing rapidly, with impressive success rates. According to a study by DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment), elite performers in DevOps, Businesses that utilize CI-CD practices, deploy code 208 times more frequently and recover from incidents 2,604 times faster than low performers. This blog will take you through how we can help you leverage CI/CD for your business.  

The Benefits of CI-CD Pipelines

Enhanced Deployment Speed and Frequency

CI-CD pipelines automate the integration and deployment processes, allowing for rapid and frequent updates. This reduces the time it takes to bring new features and improvements to market, ensuring that legacy applications can evolve quickly to meet changing business needs. 

Improved Quality and Reliability 

Automation of testing and deployment minimizes human errors and ensures consistent application performance. By continuously integrating code changes and running automated tests, CI-CD pipelines help detect and resolve issues early in the development cycle, leading to more stable and reliable applications. 

Increased Developer Productivity 

CI-CD pipelines streamline the development process, allowing developers to focus on writing code rather than manual integration and deployment tasks. These boosts enable teams to deliver more value in less time. 

Key Strategies for CI/CD Implementation 

A survey by Puppet found that organizations using CI-CD pipelines are 24 times more likely to achieve higher operational efficiency and 22 times more likely to experience better customer satisfaction. So how do we help you start implementing CI/CD for your business?  

Comprehensive Automated Testing 

We’ll help you implement resilient testing suites to validate code changes at every stage of the pipeline. 

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) 

We define your infrastructure requirements in code to ensure consistency and reproducibility across environments. 

Incremental Modernization 

Instead of a big-bang approach, we go for an incremental modernization that breaks down the modernization process into manageable phases or steps. Each phase targets specific parts of the system for updates, ensuring that changes are smaller and more controllable. 

Microservices Architecture 

The independence of applications based on microservices allows for multiple CI/CD pipelines to be set up for different services. Each pipeline can be customized to the specific needs of the service it handles, enabling faster and more efficient deployments. 

Leveraging CI-CD Pipelines for Competitive Advantage and Innovation 

By addressing key challenges and implementing strategic practices, businesses can leverage CI-CD pipelines to transform their legacy systems and remain competitive in the digital age. Embrace CI-CD pipelines today to unlock the full potential of your legacy business and drive innovation!
